Ever since the bitch Melody returned, there hasnât been a moment of peace in the house. I really couldnât stand it anymoreâ she wondered
âMom!â Mabel said indignantly. âYou have to stop her! We need to teach her a lessont Sheâs made us a laughingstock today!â
Yolanda gritted her teeth. There were still guests waiting outside for their cars, and going out to confront Melody now would only exacerbate the already bad situation.
âNo rush,â Yolanda took a deep breath and said, âHome is here. Weâre not afraid she wonât come back. She might escape for a while, but she could not escape forever!â
Mabel gritted her teeth, but she had to endure for the time being
On the other side, Melody ran out quickly, catching up with Wilmot who was about to leave by car, âMr. Sherman, wait a moment. Do you have time? Is it convenient to talk with me?
Wilmot nodded without hesitation. âThave time!â
Melody was his great benefactor, and even if he was overwhelmed with work, he would say he had time.
âThen letâs go to the coffee shop outside the community. I have something I want to confess to you!â
Hearing this Wilmot was slightly taken aback, but he didnât ask more, turned to the lady waiting for him, and said, âSorry, maâam, I have something to do, I wonât trouble you to take me back.â
âOkay, no problem, call me anytime if you need anything!â The lady was delighted that Wilmot said sorry to her, immediately waved her hand happily, and got in the car.
The two walked to the coffee shop outside the community
The coffee shop wasnât large, but it had decent privacy, and Melody requested a private room.
Melody glanced at the menu and looked up to ask Wilmot. âMr. Sherman, what would you like to drink?â
Lave some water!
âIâll just have

Melody turned to look at Wilmot, only to find him staring at her with a surprised expression.
âWhatâs wrong? Is there something on my face?â Melody mouched her uneven face and joked. âAm I too ugly?â
âNo.â Wilmot shook his head. âAlthough Iâm a stylist, I donât have any prejudices about appearance. And I believe that whatâs most important: about a person is never their appearance, but who they are as a person.â

âThanks but you should give it to your wilect
Wilmerâs eyes darkened as he said. âMy wife passed away in a car accident three years apo â

to misunderstand. I just think
4tâs not right for a big man like me to hold a flowerâ Wilmot paused and asked, âTy the way, you were saying something earlier,
Hearing this, Melody finally felt at ease. âActually, I wanted to confess something to you
Upon hearing this, Wilmotâs face showed a surprised expression.
It was a bit difficult to say, and Melody took a sip of coffee before continuing âActually, I didnât just happen to pass by the store today. I went
there on purpose
i used your gratitude toward me to get the contract back from my stepmother, Iâm not as easy to bully as I seem. On the contrary, since I came back, itâs Yolanda who has been at a disadvantage. But I feel that using your gratitude was wrong, so I came to apologize to you. If youâre upset, I can retum the store to you at any timeâ
Melody finished and waited for Wilmot to get angry and leave.
However, to her surprise, Wilmot was not angry. Instead, he smiled.
âMr. Sherman. What are you laughing at? Arenât you angry?â
Wilmot shrugged and said, âMiss Fox, Iâm not a fool, I guessed your intentions the moment I stood at your doorstep.â
Melody was even more surprised. âThen why⦠did you still help me?â
